The Best Chinese Restaurant For Me (To Date)



Will be Century Seafood located at Century Hotel.
I used to eat there at least once or twice a month with my father's association group.  There's always Birthdays,  Wedding or even Anniversary Celebration and this is actually one of the most booked Chinese Restaurant for events during my time (naks my time talaga).  

Now that I'm older and wedding celebrations are lesser (hello, most of my friends are married na and have teenagers)  so I'm probably waiting for their kids to get married and dine here again?  #JustJoking




My sister-in-law, before leaving for Europe for the Holidays decided to host a simple family dinner to celebrate Christmas and New Years in advance!  She picked the best restaurant to pig out --- Century Seafood!

After all the years of dining in different Chinese restaurants, this hits the heart - well tummy first!  It brings so much good old memories with authentic Chinese dish using fresh and high quality ingredients!

Askmemom: KinderCity Review




We love to go to Nuvali because Kyle likes to do some "fishing".  
When he talks about fishing, it literally means "feeding the orange fishes" at Solenad!  Have you been there and your family mommies?  I find that activity to be extremely relaxing and fun!  Even my dad-in-law was hooked!  I just don't know how many packs of fish food he bought just to make sure all the "slim fishes" gets their share of food!  *laughs*


It was raining so hard when we went to Nuvali so we had no choice but to feed fishes under an umbrella then keep ourselves dry at the nearby mall - Vista Mall.  


Vista mall is a kind of mall I love to stay in, I'm not much of a shopping girl, all I need in a mall is --- less crowd, ATMs availability, coffee shops, good restaurants and of course, kiddie play areas which the mall has a lot of!

One of the biggest kids play area located at the topmost floor is called KinderCity.  You won't miss it!  Kyle obviously didn't and pulled are hands and wanted to go in immediately.


NOTE: This was our 2nd time at KinderCity and I believe won't be the last.




You have to make sure to bring your own socks but you can always purchase from them.  You have to pay kids and adults separately and unlike Kidzoona and other kids play area - you cannot do shifting!  If you plan to go out and change "bantay", you have to pay this new adult's admission fee which I think isn't the best idea - I get them, most adults take selfies there but seriously, most adults can't play and are just sitting inside, I wish they would follow the rule as that of other kids play area -- just my humble opinion.

Now back to the review, KinderCity is refreshing, it's not the usual kids play area that you see, yes, they have the basics --- toys to play with, basketball court, ballpit etc...but what I love about KinderCity is how fairytale lovers would appreciate - someone like Kyle.

His imagination went wild when he played Captain in this huge boat!

Stellar Celebration Makeup To Go Palette Look



So I had this palette for a year - untouched.
I was fixing my makeup case when I saw this and took a good look.  Lo and behold - how dare I missed out on such a nice and useful palette (especially for travels and staycations?)  I am truly sorry Avon True Color.

So this look, I can easily create in 5 minutes!
Non-Avon item used: powder foundation, brows and eyeliner
Tip: you can actually use one shade in this palette as a brow powder!

Teen Crush Problem Foun Pact Review


Remember the review on the cutest Cushion packaging to date from Teen Crush? Teen Crush Problem Glow Cushion actually has a counterpart that is less "glowing" and finishes off matte.  It is called Teen Crush Problem Foun Pact - the name says it all, it is for problematic skin so it is expected that the product has medium to full coverage!  Does it?

The packaging is similar as the Glow Cushion - in cute girly pink!  
Take note that this product is more of a foundation pact rather than a Cushion.  This is a cream base foundation housed in a compact.

Innisfree Daily UV Protection Essence (Sensitive) Review



Start of 2019, I was thinking of the best product to feature to jumpstart the year, as much as I'm tempted to showcase a "kick-ass" lippie, or maybe a great foundation with super nice and natural coverage because that's what you all need (I listen friends!)  I want to stress it this year that we are getting a year older (yes, no one can run away from that!)  so the best anti-aging skincare product?

SUNSCREEN!

I am featuring a sunscreen review not to push you to purchase this particular brand or whatever brand I'm using, I'm featuring this as a reminder that everyone of us - Male, Female even kids need the protection from harmful rays of the sun.

Today, I am featuring the newest sunscreen that I'm testing.

Innisfree Daily UV Protection Essence 
(Sensitive Variant)
Note: Pick the variant that your skin needs, 
they have different sunblock variants from No Sebum to Triple Care, Mild etc...

I got myself "Sensitive" variant because - self-explanatory.

The packaging is simple, the type of packaging I like in a sunscreen, clean, squeeze-type, easy to tote along and with a pointy tip.  I can easily dispense the right amount of sunscreen needed because I don't want to waste a single drop of this baby!
